Finding Efte Diamonds How a Maidservant Was the Means - . of Hcstoring Lost Jewels. It was her system that made Mrs; Robinson what she was. If a lie got loose anywhere near, she was up and after it with, anything she could -lay her hands on. She showed you that lying didn't pay when she was' concerned.7 A lie turned into a serpent as soon as it got out of your mouth, and you were glad to get behind another.' " Not to say that her system hadn't its drawbacks. , Every system has. And the naked truth is sometimes an awful thing ten times more awful than any lie you can think of at the time. . : When Susan Jones came, however, Mrs. ; Robinson had her; work cut out. The girl lied like an eel there wag no catching hold of her. r s f At first he just chirped out lies as light hearted as a bird. "Pleas'rn" It were the cat" or anything that came uppermost. But the cat" had a way of proving an alibi that astonished Susan. " ' . So Susan got as cautious as charity, and it would have done your heart good to see the two at it, for 31 rs. Rob inson had no sooner, got the ferret of truth Into one hole than Susan was out and in at another. Any one else would have got sick and disgusted, but Mrs. Robinson didn't. "For," said she. "the girl , has her good points, and I'll make a woman of her." ' . . - And she succeeded, for Susan got worn out by the sheer uselessness of the thing and at last shut down In dia gust After that the girl did not de part from the truth for. six months. and then she : let off the awf ulest lie Mrs. Robinson had ever heard In her born. days. At least Mrs Robinson thought it was. . w .'. - . . : It happened like thisT One morning when Susan was in the coal cellar she found a lady's ring that dazzled your eyes and took your breath away. "It's one of them 5 cent things as you can buy in any tinker's shop," she said to herself. "Just a lot of rubbishy glass. I don't believe It's -worth both ering about." . - - - She took It to her mistress, however. v Mrs. Robinson "feave a cry when she saw the ring and started up with her mvvi'h rkra-n '.
